Christopher Chamberlin holds the University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship in English at Berkeley. He received his PhD in culture and theory at the University of California, Irvine, in 2018 with emphases in feminism and critical theory. Chamberlin's research bridges black and feminist studies, critical theory, the history of science, and the medical humanities to theorize the limits of power and democracy in the afterlife of racial slavery. He is particularly interested in engaging clinical analytic work—as an epistemology, a method of investigation, and a form of treatment—to advance critical thought in the interdisciplinary humanities. Chamberlin cochairs the Black and Race Studies Working Group of the Cultural Studies Association (CSA) and has work out or forthcoming in Studies in Gender and Sexuality, the Journal of Medical Humanities, and Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society. To theorize the unconscious structures of antiblackness, he is currently working on a manuscript that closely reads a set of civil rights–era case histories written by Freudian practitioners about their "racist patients."
